The food!!!! So good. I was recommended the Lamb Korma by the matron & it exceeded my expectations. Fresh, homemade food full of flavorful spices! I'm also a regular for the Lamb Biryani & it never disappoints.

Always a great experience when we go there either for pick-up or eating at the restaurant. Some of the best Indian food I've eaten in Montreal. The butter chicken is excellent & spiced to your liking. The Chana samosas are delicious & naan is hard to resist. I've never had a bad dish here & encourage everyone who loves authentic Indian food to give this great place a try. .

The place & food is a 10/10. Specially the owners & the love for food they serve. Probably the best Dal Makhani in whole Canada. Brings back the legit Indian flavors.

The food wasn't bad. I enjoyed my meal. I would definitely order it again. The only problem was the delivery took about 2 hours, but to cut them some slack they were delivering outside they're normal delivery zone.
It wasnt 2 hours far, maybe 10mins further then their normal route. So with that being said, you might wait a while for your food. I would give it a 7/10. I do recommend.

I went to Express Indian on Somerled twice so far since moving to Montreal (one using public transport, once on foot). The food was good (the one time we actually got to eat the food we paid for). Here is my big issue: twice i went to this restaurant fully prepared with my own containers. You know, pollution & the current climate crisis in mind. the first time, i had plastic containers. the food came from the kitchen in my containers, FULLY WRAPPED IN TINFOIL. The next time, learning from the first encounter, i brought large-sized mason jars. They brought my jars back empty & sat them on the counter. Finally, after quite a long wait, they brought out two of their own, one-time-use ALUMINIUM take-out containers. The person then informed me (at that time, & not before bringing out this WASTE) that the openings of the jars were too narrow to be able to get the food inside. It is so disheartening as it is to be footprint-minded in a seemingly disposable world. But this kind of situation can be utterly crushing to someone trying hard to live without creating more waste. It's almost as if they are trying to make some sort of political statement by straight up refusing to use the containers i bring in with me (even though this would save them a bit of money - just use the containers for the next person)!
In the end, the food from their aluminium containers went EVERYWHERE in their plastic bags & in my backpack (unlike had it been in sealed mason jars) & my family & I did not even get to enjoy the food.

Best Indian Lunch specials in the city - price & quality! Service depends on the number of people dining when you are there, but the food quality & preparation is always excellent...the Meat & Vegetarian lunch plate specials are the house special...Enjoy!
